My research interests are in the areas of intergroup relations and stereotype control, counterfactual thinking, negotiations, social power, and social judgment and categorization. Generally, my research explores the conditions that promote and prevent the infiltration of bias into thought and deed. Much of this research explores the conditions that influence one's awareness of alternatives and divergent perspectives and the relationship between awareness of alternatives and bias. In addition, I am intrigued by the paradoxes that emerge when people seek control over psychological or social processes.
I have investigated these processes in a variety of contexts:
--The role of perspective-taking and stereotype suppression in creating and reducing bias in intergroup contexts (with Gordon Moskowitz and Gillian Ku)
--The effects of counterfactual primes on person perception judgments and creative tasks (with Gordon Moskowitz, Ian Skurnik, & Laura Kray)
--The mindsets associated with the possession of social power (with Deb Gruenfeld and Joe Magee)
--The counterfactual and comparison processes that lead to the disconnect between objective outcomes and subjective evaluations in negotiations (with Thomas Mussweiler and Vicki Medvec)
--The role of perspective-taking and negotiator focus (including regulatory focus) in affecting the role of first offers as anchors in negotiations (with Thomas Mussweiler)
--The effect of stereotype activation and threat on negotiate outcomes (with Laura Kray and Leigh Thompson)
--The facilitory and inhibitory processes associated with metaphors and their influences on social perception (with Sam Glucksberg)
--The interplay between dissonance, self-affirmations and standards (with Jeff Stone and Joel Cooper)
